[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask - wait until the task has finished

[Carl Hopkinson]

Always demanding no waiting for async io to finish is not realistic since 
many applications cannot do useful work until the results are in over the 
wire. Results of network calls are often used as inputs to computations and 
not simply as populating views.  Until the computations are done, the app 
can really do no useful work.  In these cases, requiring no waiting on 
AsyncIO (.get() call) only vastly over-complicates the app for no 
beneficial purpose.

[android-developers] Android Studio Installation Problem

[Carl N]

I have a chromebook running Arm hard float... I can install linux on chroot. 
Great! Problem is.. when I download android studio jdk it won't run without 
java, I install the oracle java for hard float great! Problem is when I run 
android studio it requires library files that are only available as i386 
architecture...

What ? Why is this ? I can install them by adding a foreign architecture using 
dpkg add architecture... but then it will always say they are missing...I get 
this damn mksdcard is not available message... because the 32 bit library files 
are ONLY available as i386 architecture... so my arm chromebook can't even 
process these library files... does anyone else have this problem ? Come on 
google not everyone runs on an Intel based processor who wants to develop apps.

[android-developers] Re: Cant Unpublish APK from Beta

[Carl]

Something similar happened to me a week ago.  It's a trap for the unwary, 
and they need a warning for it, and in fact I wrote to support suggesting 
that, and they said they would look into it.

But it's no mystery what happened to you.  There's a rule in Google Play 
that once you have published an app with targetSdkVersion set to 23 or 
above, you cannot go back to a version prior to 22.  Even if you have only 
published to Beta.  Even if you only have one person testing your app in 
Beta, and that person is yourself.

The reason for this is the very different approach to permissions in API 
level 23 (Marshmallow).  Instead of having all permissions approved by the 
user at install time, approvals for permissions are requested by the app 
itself at run time.

So, I guess that they are concerned that someone might have downloaded your 
app and been asked for permissions, and denied those permissions, but then 
they could update the app and get an APK using the old permissions model, 
with all permissions assumed to have been already approved at install time, 
when in fact the user had denied some or all of the permissions.

Anyway, you have only one possible course of action if you ever want to 
update your app again:  you need to publish your next update with 
targetSdkVersion set to 23 or higher.  And, with a higher version number, 
of course.

As you've already pointed out, you cannot remove either of your two Beta 
versions, because deleting the most recent one would send you back to a 
pre-Marshmallow version.

Note that if you want code requiring permissions to work, you will have to 
write whatever new code is needed to ask the user for permissions at run 
time, rather than at install time.  It's not all that hard to do, although 
it's not entirely trivial.  It's a bit tricky dealing with all the obscure 
use cases in which the user messes with the permissions from app settings 
and then returns to your app.  I just did this myself and it involves lots 
of annoying little situations, but it's ultimately doable.  Enjoy.

[android-developers] Re: Cant Unpublish APK from Beta

[Carl]

I'm confused regarding what you are saying; we need to clarify:

1. When you say "targeting 23" are you referring to the targetSdkVersion in 
the manifest, or are you referring to the project build target?

2. When you say that you have tried my suggestion, are you saying that you 
have tried to publish a *new* APK having version 47, with 
targetSdkVersion="23" (and project build target also 23), and that you are 
getting an error when you do that, *and* that the error is the listed error 
(in red text) that refers to changing from version 42 to version 28?  That 
would be very strange.

3. Why would you say that "We can upload another but no matter what we do 
build 42 will not be replaced or deactivated or we get previously used M 
permissions error."  From what you have listed, build 42 has *already* been 
replaced (in Beta) by build 46.  So I don't see why you couldn't just 
promote 46 to production (if it is behaving correctly) or, if not yet 
correct, replace it with a revised build 47 that does work correctly, and 
that has targetSdkVersion="23" (and project build target also 23).

Re: [android-developers] Re: Cant Unpublish APK from Beta

[Carl Gunther]

That is good to hear.  I will make a note of it in case I encounter a
similar situation.

I wonder if this could be a way to get back to targetSdkVersion="22" after
releasing an APK in Beta with targetSdkVersion="23"?

[android-developers] Re: Android bulk app purchases B2b

[Carl]

In general, Google does not require that you sell your app exclusively 
through Google Play.  Therefore, as far as I know, you have the option of 
selling a site license to your clients and allowing them to download it off 
your own Web site.  That also would save you the 30 percent that Google 
takes as its share.  Check the relevant policies on Google to make sure 
there are no restrictions in your particular case.  For example, if you 
offer a free app on Google Play, I *think* that you're prevented from 
linking to a paid upgrade outside Google Play, but check this for yourself.

Google Play is a great way to reach individual users, but if you are doing 
a bulk sale then other options may make more sense.

Carl

[android-developers] Re: Write to another application's internal memory

[Carl]

You could try using android:process with the same process name on the 
manifest declaration of the activities in each app between which you wish 
communication to occur.  Note that they will also probably have to share a 
single heap, which may create problems, depending upon how much memory is 
consumed by the apps' activities collectively.  

The purpose of android:process on an activity is to specify that your 
activity should be launched in a process having a specific name. The choice 
of that name may be used either to isolate the activity in its own process 
(other than the one the launched it), or to force it to cohabit in a single 
process with other activities (potentially from different apps) that use 
the same name.

Per the Dev Guide 
(http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html):

"If the name assigned to this attribute begins with a colon (':'), a new 
process, private to the application, is created when it's needed and the 
activity runs in that process. If the process name begins with a lowercase 
character, the activity will run in a global process of that name, provided 
that it has permission to do so. This allows components in different 
applications to share a process, reducing resource usage."
Both apps also have to be signed by the same certificate.

Per http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html:

"Application modularity – The Android system allows applications that are 
signed by the same certificate to run in the same process, if the 
applications so requests, so that the system treats them as a single 
application. In this way you can deploy your application in modules, and 
users can update each of the modules independently if needed.

"Code/data sharing through permissions – The Android system provides 
signature-based permissions enforcement, so that an application can expose 
functionality to another application that is signed with a specified 
certificate. By signing multiple applications with the same certificate and 
using signature-based permissions checks, your applications can share code 
and data in a secure manner."

Caveat: While I have successfully used android:process to provide a 
separate heap to a help activity within an app, I have not yet tried to use 
it to communicate between two separate apps.

[android-developers] Re: Help: My app has violated the spam provisions of the Content Policy

[Carl]

If we compare these Google Maps keywords from the response supplied by B0b:

Keywords: maps, navigation, places, latitude, directions, indoor maps, 
local search, Street View, traffic, transit

with the ones that were considered to be objectionable by Google:

*Keywords*: Secret Audio Recorder, Secret Voice Recorder, Spy Recorder, Spy 
Phone, Hidden Recorder, Hidden Voice Recorder, Hidden Mike, Hidden 
Michrophone, Background Recorder, Secret CamCorder, Stealth Audio Recorder, 
Stealth Voice Recording, Audio Recorder, Voice Recorder

we might ask (and not just rhetorically) why the latter are viewed by 
Google as spammy while the former are not.

To me, it seems as though each of the above sets of keywords is quite 
relevant to the app to which it pertains.

However, we can see that many words within the "objectionable" set occur in 
more than one keyword phrase; "Recorder" is repeated nine times,  "Hidden" 
is repeated four times, "Secret," "Audio" and "Voice" are each repeated 
three times,  while "Stealth" and "Spy" each occur twice.

To me, that would seem to be  the main difference.

So, if there is a lesson to be drawn from this, it might be that one should 
not create multiple permutations of keywords just because it is possible to 
arrange them into multiple distinct phrases.

And that, in turn, suggests that if you have the keywords secret, hidden, 
spy, audio, voice, and recorder as keywords, and someone searches for 
Secret Audio Recorder or for Hidden Spy Recorder or some other permutation 
of those terms, Google will direct that user to your app, even though you 
do not have the specific phrase that was typed by the searcher.

But then we might ask why Google itself includes the phrases indoor maps, 
local search and Street View.  Well, I don't know, but it may have 
something to do with the frequency with which people actually search for 
those phrases, as opposed to the individual words.  And Google itself can 
tell you (for the Web) just what those frequencies are.  For example:

http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22local%20search%22%2C%20%22secret%20audio%20recorder%22%2C%20%22secret%20audio%22&cmpt=q

So, that might provide some clue at least of how to avoid using keywords 
that might be flagged as being spammy, even when they appear to be relevant 
to our apps.

[android-developers] Android Developer Console: Pricing Apps

[Carl K.]

I have never really cared in detail, even though I'm using it for a while...

After reading the documentation for "Pricing Apps" for "Selling Apps in 
Multiple Currencies" 
(http://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1169947&topic=15867&ctx=topic),
 I'm still unsure if I understand it correctly. Here some excerpts:

> [...] When an app is uploaded to Google Play, you will be asked
> to set a default price for the app in your home currency. This price
> will be used for all countries/regions which you do not manually
> override.

In my understanding, this means that the default price is used for countries 
that you don't (can't) specify the price manually (as it says..)

Second paragraph:

> For each country that you wish sell your app in, check the box next to
> that country and enter a price. You cannot target a particular country
> without entering a price. [...] The autofill conversion uses the daily
> exchange rate on the day that you set the price; it does not float.

a) If an app should be sold in a specific country, its box requires to be 
checked and set (if a text element is there).
b) The price in that specific country should not float.

Is my understanding so far correct? In b), the price (target currency) DOES 
float ... sometimes, at least. And the original currency does change too at the 
same time. So, I am very confused.

Additional Question: For countries that do not have this currency text-element, 
will the price be automatically set to their currency on save? I guess, it does 
(should) not float either.

Kind Regards,
Carl

[android-developers] Re: SSL Client Authentication Broken in Android 4.0

[Carl Minden]

There certainly were no exceptions. I guess I might have missed a
warning but I don't think so.

as far as trusting the certificate we have an out of band method for
verifying the certificate when you first create the keypair, then
after that the server can check if the cert is the one it expects for
that user.  We do not care about any information contained in the cert
just that we are talking to the same phone (keypair)

[android-developers] Re: SSL Client Authentication Broken in Android 4.0

[Carl Minden]

Hmm, if there was a parse error I wonder why no exception was thrown,
as far as I can tell it just silently failed and didn't send the cert
to the server.

The reason I am not using the openssl tool is because I am creating
the certificate on the phone using an RSA keypair generated at
runtime.  I know it probably sounds like i'm doing something wrong/
stupid :), but without getting into the details of my system the only
thing I need this cert for is to use the keypair to perform SSL client
auth and it really doesn't matter if it is signed.

[android-developers] Re: SSL Client Authentication Broken in Android 4.0

[Carl Minden]

when I made the certificate in openssl I did not call X509_sign() to
sign it...for my use case it didn't need to be signed so I hadn't
bothered.

I changed my code so that I signed the certificate with its private
key and then added the signed certificate to the STACK_OF(X509)
certificate authority cert chain used to created the pkcs12
certificate with pkcs12_create().

I believe I didn't have to pass the SSLSocketFactory a truststore
because that information was included in the pkcs12 certificate via
the CA cert chain.

I was actually using an unsigned certificate which turned out to be
the problem, apparently as of ICS the SSLSocketFactory (or some other
part of the system) will no longer properly accept unsigned x509
certificates (which I used to create the pkcs12 cert). I just had to
self sign the certificate and my existing java code worked fine.

[android-developers] SSL Client Authentication Broken in Android 4.0

[Carl Minden]

I have an Android app which uses an SSLSocketFactory to load a pkcs12
certificate and use that certificate to perform SSL Client
authentication with my server. This process worked perfectly on
Android 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, but when I attempt to run this code on a
phone or emulator running 4.0 my server does not receive a public key
from the request made by my application.  There is no exception thrown
and the request makes it to my server fine, it just does not contain
the client certificate as it should and did before.

Here is the code I am using to get the HttpClient I use to perform my
request

private HttpClient getHttpClient(Context context) {

if(httpClient == null) {
KeyStore mycert = KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12");
byte[] pkcs12 =
persistentStorage.getPKCS12Certificate(context);

ByteArrayInputStream pkcs12BAIS = new
ByteArrayInputStream(pkcs12);
mycert.load(pkcs12BAIS, config.getPassword().toCharArray());

SSLSocketFactory sockfact = new SSLSocketFactory(mycert, null,
null);

sockfact.setHostnameVerifier(new StrictHostnameVerifier());

SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry();
registry.register(new Scheme("https",sockfact ,
config.getPort()));

BasicHttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(httpParameters,
false);
HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(httpParameters,
HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);

HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters,
3000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, 3000);

ThreadSafeClientConnManager cm = new
ThreadSafeClientConnManager(httpParameters, registry);
cm.closeExpiredConnections();
cm.closeIdleConnections(3000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(cm, httpParameters);

}

return httpClient;
}

suggestions but I still get this error.

I am using Eclipse Indigo and developing for Android 2.2.
I have showing that the Source in installed at Help -> About ->

I do not seem to have a valid activity manager available from the

[android-developers] How do I develop a Eclipse plugin on top of google's ADT?

I think it will be nice to modify or enhance google's ADT, since
Eclipse's plugins are almost all written in Java and in Eclipse.

For example, let DDMS's logcat support regular expression filter; open
sqlite3 database directyly in eclipse by double clicking the db file
in DDMS's file expolrer.

Anyone can give me a hint on how to start off?

[android-developers] Android - how to define ShapeDrawables programmatically?

[Carl Whalley]

What I'm trying to achieve is to use a Drawable with a couple of
layers inside it, but control some values at runtime such as the
startColor for the gradient. Here's what I have in
my_layered_shape.xml:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
>
  

  
  

  
  




  


And if I use
mMyImageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.my_layered_shape) it
works. I don't mind splitting the xml if I have to, or doing the whole
thing programatically as long as there's a way to get at the various
color values. The concept I'm going for programmatically (i.e. my best
shot at doing the same in code as this xml) is:

Drawable[] layers = new Drawable[2];

ShapeDrawable sd1 = new ShapeDrawable(new RectShape());
sd1.getPaint().setColor(0x);
sd1.getPaint().setStyle(Style.STROKE);
sd1.getPaint().setStrokeWidth(1);
// sd1.getPaint().somehow_set_stroke_color?

ShapeDrawable sd2 = new ShapeDrawable(new RectShape());
sd2.getPaint().setColor(0xFF00);
sd2.getPaint().setStyle(Style.STROKE);
// sd2.getPaint().somehow_set_stroke_color?
// sd2.getPaint().somehow_set_gradient_params?

layers[0] = sd1;
layers[1] = sd2;
LayerDrawable composite = new LayerDrawable(layers);
mMyImageView.setBackgroundDrawable(composite);

Thanks

[android-developers] Android Debug Bridge hack

[Carl Lee]

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/core.git;a=tree;f=adb;h=9478be080872bd70b379c8d2b6beb78a535f3b2d;hb=HEAD

I was reading these source code from android git, because I want to
use a feature of Android Debug Bridge - screenshot.
Most screenshot apps on market needs Root permission, which I don't
like very much.

http://code.google.com/p/android-screenshot-library/
After some googlings and researches, I found this small library that
allows me to take screenshot without root permission.
But at last I found out it needs user to install Android SDK, and
install a native program onto device using adb tool from a computer.
This is what I wanted, neither.
So after reading this library's code I found out what it does is
really simple, read from "/dev/graphics/fb0" and decode it.
The key of this library is to have the "shell" user permission.

After reading some of the code and docs on Android Debug Bridge's git,
I found it is possible to communicate with the adbd (which runs on the
device when "Application->Development->USB debug" is selected) through
a socket interface.
I tried it on a emulator and it works!!
Unfortunately, most devices don't have that socket open. Instead, most
devices listens on USB device instead of socket.
Since I am some kind of a "C" noob, I am wondering if I am still able
to communicate with the adbd daemon from a process that only has
normal Android application permission and take a screenshot through
that interface?

[android-developers] Re: finish all running activities in the task above a particular activity.

[Carl Lee]

I think you are doing it wrong.
You should probably leave your LoginActivity in stack instead of
finishing it once user is logged in.

The code above will clear all activities above the launching one.
For example:
A -> B -> C -> D
then we do this:
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
B.class).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));

result will be;
A -> B

You may want to check the .jar file you included in you .classpath ,
make sure you have Driver.class in it, so the reflection
method( that's "Class.forname('org.postgresql.Driver')",which is
obviously used in your ReportActivity somehow directly or indirectly)
will work correctly in your code.

Hi

We have seen in some forums that customers unlocking the boot loader
on their phones have experienced problems when they accept a FOTA
(Firmware upgrade Over The Air) update. The issue has been reproduced
and we are working on a solution. For customers that have unlocked the
boot loader - do not accept the Firmware upgrade OTA.

Hi

Thanks for your feedback here on Google groups and the Developer blog.
At the moment there is no turning back after unlocking the bootloader
which is clearly stated in the instructions.
However, we are looking into alternatives such as sharing information

Maybe you should just simply use

In addition, you should also write a selector xml like this:

[android-developers] Emulator won't shutdown

[Carl]

The emulator (started with Eclipse, NetBeans or the command line) works well 
until I try to close it.  At that point, it will not die.  The OS is XP, java 
is 1.6.0_23-ea (tried it on 1.6.0_7 also.)  Some observations:

1.  Every time the emulator starts, it starts two processes as reported by the 
XP task manger.

2.  After clicking 'Close'  (the 'X' in the upper right corner of the emulator 
window), the task shows as 'Not responding' in the task manager.

3.  The task manager fails to close the task.

4.  If started from a command window, after clicking 'Close', the command 
window is unresponsive and can not be closed.

5.  The rest of the workstation will continue to function until you attempt to 
shut it down whereupon it becomes unresponsive.

6.  The only way to reset the workstation is to power it off.

7.  I have tried different avds.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA,

Carl

[android-developers] It seemed so simple...

[Carl Brown]

Get in on the App inventor to easily implement code, and reference/
research the code I needed to learn app develop quickly..

Make a far better phone call recorder by utilizing a stereo audio
format, grab the downlink  voice and plug into the right channel while
gabbing the uplink voice. Fixing the muddled quality and diminished
volume I got from the current market apps because they combined both
before encoding into a file.

Problem 1. App inventor doesn't allow for pugging in your own code

Problem 2 MediaRecorder code does't let you


I wanted to check opinion (before I waisted a lot more time
researching the impossible) creating two MediaRecorders instances,
creating two files, one using the voice uplink and one using the voice
downlink, encoding them out separate eat too many resources and cpu%?

Might be throwing in a food-for-thought curveball here but I wonder if
there's a difference between updating an app that's running and one
which isn't?

[android-developers] Re: Android Market Licensing: Now Available!

[Carl Whalley]

That's clearer, thanks.
Presumably if you upload apps hacked this way to the Market, your
account will get pulled. And since this is the only way of getting
apps into the Market it remains safe?

[android-developers] Re: Android Market Licensing: Now Available!

[Carl Whalley]

I'm curious about something regarding signing. If someone does as this
hack shows and patches the apk, they need to resign the new build. If
they then put this version out and its widely distributed, can't
Google see the certificate used to resign it, compare with the
original and just revoke the new one? Following that, what actually
happens if a user then tries to install an app signed with a revoked
cert via non-Market means?

Smells like there will be a pattern, such as they've all installed
another app causing this and don't realise, or all have full internal

[android-developers] Re: How can I increase the memory capacity of my Android emulator?

[Carl H]

Thanks for those who helped I was able to increase the memory capacity
of the emulator
and was able to install the huge APK.

Go to Preferences.
Select “Launch”
ADD “-partition-size 1024” on the “Default emulator option”
Click “Apply”

I knew I could use the SD card for my audio files.
But I am required from my specs to use the "built-in flash".

[android-developers] How can I increase the memory capacity of my Android emulator?

[Carl Hernandez]

Hi!

My application is almost 1 gig. I don't intend to sell this. This is
for personal use. I have large audio files that NEEDs to be stored
folder. The emulator won't launched it since it's big. How can I make
the emulator accept a large APK (1gig)?

Thanks!

[android-developers] Audio file list

[Carl H]

I need to acquire my audio file names in my raw folder.
fileList() of Context class doesn't seem to work. It returns null.

private void makeAudioList(){
String[] audiofiles = this.fileList();
:
:

It tried placing files in the asset folder as well but still the
return is null.

I'm going to create a test application to test a list of audio files
in my res/raw folder.

I'm open in playing from the asset folder but I haven't tried playing
my audio files from there.

I hope somebody could help. m(__)m

[android-developers] Why is the same dialog sometimes translucent?

[Carl Whalley]

I have a Dialog with a Button whos OnClickListener() creates an
AlertDialog:
public void onClick(View v) {
  Dialog confirmDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder( activity )
.setIcon( R.drawable.icon )
...

The problem is in one place in the app, actually a MapActivity derived
Activity, when I run this the confirmDialog is translucent, and I
don't want this. When I run the same code from various other points in
the app, all non MapActivity derived, the confirmDialog has a solid
background. So its unlikely to be anything in the Dialogs xml but more
the context it is launched from, but I can't for the life of me see
where any translucent style is even mentioned in the app. Has anyone
see this before, or got any hints for how I can stop it happening
please?

[android-developers] Remove default margin inside WebView

[Carl Whalley]

There seems to be a default inner border in the WebView - it's about 6
pixels all round. How can this be removed so the size matches the
content?

[android-developers] In-app payment options

[Carl Whalley]

Instead of having 2 versions on the market for apps, one lite (free)
and one paid, is it possible to have just the lite one but offer a
payment page in the app which upgraded it once the payment is
received?

[android-developers] Resume download after app stop/start lifecycle

[Carl Whalley]

I've an App which performs a potentially large download in background
thread. When the orientation changes or the keyboard is opened the App
lifecycle system invokes the start/stop/pause/resume etc calls - is
there any strategy available to resume the download rather than just
set a flag so the new onCreate() knows it was interrupted and has to
start it again? Thanks.

[android-developers] BitmapFactory.decodeFile() vs BitmapFactory.decodeResource() on Nexus 1

[Carl Whalley]

I've an app which shows bitmaps using either of these calls on the G1
(1.6) and they show up correctly at the same size. When I run on the
N1 (or a 2.1 AVD) I find the same file appears much smaller using
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(), but it is correct when using
BitmapFactory.decodeResource().  How can I fix this for a WVGA800
device please?

[android-developers] Downloading apk to Nexus One from local webserver

[Carl Whalley]

When developing for the G1 I set up a local apache site to serve APK's
and pointed the G1 browser to it. The server is on my local P and the
G1 connects via Wifi on its direct IP. The mime types was set up, and
the G1 downloads and installs them fine - these are all signed with
the public key. When I try this with the N1 browser it sees the site
fine but at the point at which the download starts it hangs - I just
see "Waiting for data connection" in the browsers download page. It
does this with the same APK the G1 downloads and installs fine with -
anyone know whats wrong here please?

[android-developers] Constructing shapes from other objects

[Carl Whalley]

In graphics packages you can start with a rectangle, make it a
rounded, then say add another triangle and where they meet join them
to create a path, which can then be treat as a single object, e.g.
filled with a gradient. Can this be done with Androids graphics? I'm
trying to make, for example, a speech balloon rect with rounded
corners. The way I described sounds far easier than specifying each
path co-ordinate manually.

[android-developers] MapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true) problem when used in a TabHost

[Carl Whalley]

Following http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html
to create a MapView based app works but gives a deprecation warning on
the mapView.getZoomControls() call for 1.6+. The new way is just to
call setBuiltInZoomControls(true) on your MapView and the controls
will appear as before. I just did this on an app where I've placed the
MapView in a tab on a TabHost and its shown another difference. With
the old way, the zoom controls disappear as soon as you change tabs,
but the new one causes just them to persist over the new tab. In other
words, the fading effect that has been applied is too slow, it just
looks plain wrong as they should disappear instantly. Unless anyone
knows differently of course ... ;-)

[android-developers] Keeping Map API keys in sync across a dev team

[Carl Whalley]

When an app which uses the Map API is released it must be signed with
the public cert. For individual use the key comes from the local debug
keystore, created each time the Android SDK is installed. In other
words, its different for each developer. When I include a view using
it, then commit, my key goes in the xml, but the next developer to
take an update clobbers his key, which being different to mine results
in no maps being shown for him. Is there a smarter way to prevent this
when a team is using the Maps API please?

[android-developers] Validating a dialog with custom onClick()

[Carl Whalley]

I have a handler for the custom onClick thus:

public class DialogValidator implements OnClickListener {
private int id;
private Activity activity;

protected DialogValidator(Activity activity, int id) {
this.activity = activity;
this.id = id;
}

@Override
public void onClick( DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton )
{
if (whichButton == AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Ok from DialogValidator",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
activity.dismissDialog(id);
}
}
}

And implement it like this:

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog( int id ) {
...
return new AlertDialog.Builder( this )
.setIcon( R.drawable.icon )
.setTitle( R.string.dialog_title )
.setView( dialogView )
.setPositiveButton( R.string.button_ok, new DialogValidator
(activity, id))
.setNegativeButton(R.string.button_cancel, new
DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
}
})
.create();
}

I see the Toast but the dialog is dismissed anyway when you click Ok.
In a fuller version I want
to access some of the input fields and only dismiss this dialog if
they are valid. To do that I'd flesh out
the above code where the Toast is - but need it to not dismiss itself.
If I have overriden the parents'
onClick() method as seen, and we know it is being called, why does it
still do that?

[android-developers] How to know the encoding of an SMS

[Carl]

Hi,

I am writing an SMS application that processes SMSs according to the
encoding type.
Is there anyway to know, without needing to parse the PDU, if the
message is 7-bit encoded or using UCS-2 encoding?

Thank you.

[android-developers] How to create SMS PDUs

[Carl]

Hello all,

I want to create my own PDUs in Android and catch the PDUs with my own
SMS reading program.
Is there any way to create the PDUs or the only way is to manually
craft them(fill field by field with hex code)?

I have been looking for information for a while, but can only find
information related to extracting information from PDUs.


Thanks in advance.

Carl

[android-developers] Advice on keeping app running/available

[Carl Barton]

I have spent a lot of time playing and researching (including subscribing to
the Mark Murphy¹s CommonsGuy stuff...excellent by the way) and I think I
have enough info to be dangerous.
I am just having issues coming up with best practices for doing what I need
to do.

My app is collecting specially formatted incoming SMS messages (currently
default port but will later be processing port-directed using Verizon
proprietary header info). I also need a UI application that will view the
current messages that have been received and allow the user to
read/delete/reply. All this stuff is working at this point but I just need
to make sure it keeps itself running at all times (or will always be
available when needed at least).

My initial thoughts were to have a service which starts at boot handle the
sms messaging (in and out) and incorporate a content provider in it to
provide access to the collection of messages (Sqlite) to other applications
requiring it. I tried launching the service from an activity but if someone
uses a task killer to kill the activity it seems to take the service down
with it. I tried having a service that runs at boot but had trouble getting
it to launch an activity when a new message arrives (probably my issue).

So, after floundering back and forth with my indecisions of how best to
architect it, I figured I would ask around to get some suggestions and then
attack it from there. So, any ideas from anyone?

Thanks,

Carl

[android-developers] Re: Testing on every possible device

[Carl]

I have not used this company however I have heard some great things.

they have devices that are busted open and wired up so that you can
control them remotely via the web. You can deploy your apps to them,
see the display on your machine and do whatever you want to them.

You basically rent time from them.

http://www.deviceanywhere.com/

I don't know what they have for Androids at this point but definitely
worth a look.

[android-developers] Re: Can't use commands in command prompt.

[Carl]

I've copied the folder from the JDK and put it in the SDK. Nothing
changed.
Noticed another problem, it is telling me that i'm missing a SWT
folder. That i need to point ANDROID_SWT to the folder containing
swt.jar.
But i've looked in the android.bat and ANDROID_SWT is pointing to that
folder.

what now?

[android-developers] Can't use commands in command prompt.

[Carl]

Hi,

When i'm in the directory tools and try to use "android create avd..."
i get an error like " ' java is not recognizable as an internal or
external command, operable program or batch. "

What's wrong?

I'm using Windows 7 prof
Have added android to the system environment variables. (Maybe doesn't
change anything.)

Tanks

[android-developers] Re: Why are the save/restore lifecycle events called twice when switching the emulator from landscape to portrait?

[Carl Whalley]

Cheers. I think you're right, but this looks just plain wrong. If
there was a reason for the double Activity creation it should at least
happen in both cases, not just in the landscape to portrait case. Its
actually a little worse than that, because I came across this when
chasing a "bug" in some code which was causing the width in an onLayout
() call to *sometimes* come in as 0, which it turns out is this
spurious lifecycle event.

[android-developers] Why are the save/restore lifecycle events called twice when switching the emulator from landscape to portrait?

[Carl Whalley]

This is with the 1.6 & 1.5 SDKs, not tried earlier ones. When you
switch from portrait to landscape the onSaveInstanceState()/
onRestoreInstanceState() pair are called once, but when going back
from landscape to portrait they are called twice, unless I've missed
something.
To test, see the log after creating a default Hello World app and
change the main class like this:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "activity";

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(new MainView(this));
}

@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
Log.d(TAG, "onRestoreInstanceState()");
}

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
Log.d(TAG, "onSaveInstanceState()");
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}

public class MainView extends LinearLayout {
public MainView(Context context) {
super(context);
inflate(context, R.layout.main, this);
}
}
}

[android-developers] Re: AVD for Motorola Cliq?

[Carl Whalley]

Small point raised in my original post: if you do as you suggest and
keep the app in portrait mode when the keyboard is opened, assuming
the user turns the handset so they are holding it in portrait mode is
the DPAD to the lower right or upper left of the screen? Also,
thinking about this further, is the UP/DOWN of the DPAD itself
adjusted to reflect this?

[android-developers] AVD for Motorola Cliq?

[Carl Whalley]

Anything around?
In particular, exactly what do those buttons do and are we to assume
to use the DPAD in portrait mode the phone is turned 180 from what
you'd expect "normal" portrait mode to be (see the pic, you'll see
what I mean: http://ota.cc/az). I'm just guessing here but as a
developer would like to know how to handle this.
Do we need to code for a new orientation: keyboard closed portrait,
keyboard open portrait and landscape?

[android-developers] Re: buttons hidden

[Carl]

Thanks, I'm such an idiot! The docs say "LinearLayout aligns all
children in a single direction", I expected the items to wrap around
and continue underneath.
I followed this layout you specified and was able to get the results
within minutes. I really do need to RTFM.

Sorry about that

[android-developers] Re: buttons hidden

[Carl]

What I'm trying to achieve is this:

A label with "Band" in it, and next to it a textbox in which to type
the band's name, then underneath the "Band" label a label "Members",
and next to it a textbox to type the members.
Then underneath all of this, a save button and a cancel button.

Undortunately, all my attempts to use a linearlayout have caused the
buttons to disappear

Thanks for the advice on the hierarchyviewer though. I'm now able to
see whats happening, but it still makes no difference. I can't make it
display the way I want it to

[android-developers] buttons hidden

[Carl]

I'm trying to show a simple layout where I can call this activity and
fill in some values, then hit the save or cancel button. Unfortunately
the save and cancel buttons never appear. Can someone help please?
